Another winter
The renters go home
The maple goes from crimson to brown
Oh, God
My God
Another winter in a summer town
The beaches empty
They cover the pools
The patio umbrellas come down
Oh, God
My God
Another winter in a summer town
One little leaf adrift in the breeze
Refuses to fall from the sky
Blown by the wind
It clings to the trees
Unwilling to wither and die
The summer's over
But I'm still a girl
Cavorting in my carnival crown
From blossom to blossom I buzz like a bee
Then glance in the mirror and who do I see?
A middle-aged woman inhabiting me
Because it's winter
In a summer town
Mm, la (ah)
Ah (ah)
Ah
Yesterday's dreams are faded bouquets (Only a rose)
Roses that died on the vine (just a memory divine)
Yesterday seems more real than today (of love, when sweet)
It's difficult drawing the line (youth was mine)
My season ended (ended)
A long time ago
But no one took the party tent down (alone now)
The pink paper lanterns still twinkle in place
My young Navy hero, his tender embrace
That sapphire blue ocean; oh how can I face
Another winter in a summer town?
Oh, God
Oh, God
My God
